Bioengineering Human Scaffold-free Cartilage Constructs Using Paediatric Auricular Tissue
Currently, patients with external ear deformities rely on hyaline cartilage grafts or silicone prosthesis to provide them with adequate external ear reconstruction. Scaffold-free auricular tissue engineering provides a means of creating patient specific cartilage constructs solely using their own cells, ensuring biocompatibility, long term stability, and reduced morbidity. Here, we have develop...
متن کاملEffects of Triiodothyronine on Adult Rat Cardiomyocytes
Effects of triiodothyronine (T3) on the expression of cytoskeletal and myofibrillar proteins in adult rat cardiomyocytes (ARC) were followed during two weeks of culture in the presence of 20% T3-depleted (stripped) FCS. Control cultures expressed mainly b -myosin heavy chain (MHC) mRNA. T3 caused a switch to a -MHC expression and a dose-dependent increase of a -smooth muscle ( a -sm) actin mRNA...
متن کاملAdult rat cardiomyocytes exhibit capacitative calcium entry.
Capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE) refers to the influx of Ca(2+) through plasma membrane channels activated on depletion of endoplasmic-sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) stores. We utilized two Ca(2+)-sensitive dyes (one monitoring cytoplasmic free Ca(2+) and the other free Ca(2+) within the sarcoplasmic reticulum) to determine whether adult rat ventricular myocytes exhibit CCE. Treatments with inhib...
متن کاملHuman iPS cell-engineered cardiac tissue sheets with cardiomyocytes and vascular cells for cardiac regeneration
To realize cardiac regeneration using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), strategies for cell preparation, tissue engineering and transplantation must be explored. Here we report a new protocol for the simultaneous induction of cardiomyocytes (CMs) and vascular cells [endothelial cells (ECs)/vascular mural cells (MCs)], and generate entirely hiPSC-engineered cardiovascular cell sheet...
متن کاملAdult cardiac Sca-1-positive cells differentiate into beating cardiomyocytes.
Although somatic stem cells have been reported to exist in various adult organs, there have been few reports concerning stem cells in the heart. We here demonstrate that Sca-1-positive (Sca-1+) cells in adult hearts have some of the features of stem cells. Sca-1+ cells were isolated from adult murine hearts by a magnetic cell sorting system and cultured on gelatin-coated dishes. A fraction of S...
